Yes, it’s been quite a week for Mike O’Brien’s team (7-2, 2-1 Quinn Conference), which has won four straight and three games in five days.

“I’m proud of our kids because it was a great weekend for us,” the coach said.

Meanwhile, the Hawks (2-5-3, 0-2) continue to struggle offensively. Through 10 games, they have 31 goals compared to 60 at this time last year.

On Sunday, Hudson trailed, 2-1, in the second period but failed to beat Ben Wickelman (20 saves) during a four-minute power play.

“Give Marlboro a ton of credit,” Hawks coach Mike Nanartowich said. “They made smarter decisions with the puck and are better coached right now.”

Hudson did score the first goal while on the power play, however, when junior Dan Borella redirected a Mitch Dube blast from 15 feet out.

Marlboro tied the game 50 seconds into the second period when Hawks goalie Shane Barry (28 saves) made a glove save, but left it in the crease for sophomore Erik Bastarache, who lifted it under the crossbar.

The Panthers took the lead 2:30 later when Jake Chiasson poked in a rebound after Barry had made two stops. Chiasson then made it 3-1 at 12:30 after he gained separation from a Hudson defenseman and wristed a hard shot over Barry’s stick.

Marlboro won Sunday’s game, but Chiasson also took home family bragging rights. His cousin, Jeff Hamelin, plays for Hudson.

“It’s always fun playing against (Jeff),” Chiasson said. “It’s a nice family rivalry between us.”

The Panthers made it 4-1 just 1:06 into the third period on Robert Stamm’s blast from the blue line. Borella scored his second goal at 13:44, while Bastarache added his second with just two seconds left.
